Shopping/Deals: November 2007 Archives
One reader wrote in responding to my column today about where all the toy recalls are leaving parents this holiday season. Here's what she is doing:
I am trying not to buy toys from China for Christmas which as we know is almost impossible. I did find a great toy maker who has wooden toys and he is located in California. My son loves his trucks: http://www.thewoodsmantoys.com
It's harder for my daughter but I do think that I will get her one nice American Girl doll rather than many little things. She is also getting clothes and books. She is 6 ½ and I know that it will be hard shopping for her. Many of the items she would have wanted have been recalled.
It will not be an easy shopping season however it will be simpler and scaled down which sounds good to me. She adds that she may also buy from Step2, another USA-made toy company.
